Oliver twins announce Dizzy Returns Kickstarter two decades after the last original Dizzy game

The Oliver twins have announced a Kickstarter drive for Dizzy Returns over two decades after the last original Dizzy game came out.

The Blitz Game Studios chiefs Philip and Andrew Oliver, who created the series for Codemasters in the ’80s, ask for £350,000.

Dizzy Returns will be a colourful platformer for PC and iOS devices out some time in the Q3 2013 release window. It will include new puzzles, new characters, new locations, a new story and modern gameplay inspired by the original series. There’s even a retro mode so you can play with 8-bit graphics and classic difficulty.
